Zach Braff’s comedy “All New People” opened Monday night at Second Stage in NYC and guess who was called “deliciously ditsy” by the Daily News?

You guessed right! That’s Anna (Louisiana Hot Sauce) Camp! playing a  high priced hooker in the show and guess what else… Krysten Ritter (Jesse’s dead girlfriend from Breaking Bad!) is also in it.

See our original post for synopsis. Then Buy Tickets!

Anna Camp, who, BTW, we haven’t seen in a long long time (where the heck are the Newlins?), will star in Zack Braff’s Off-Broadway production of “All New People.” The production will begin giving previews June 28th and open on July 25th at the Second Stage Theatre in NY.

Synopsis: Set in New Jersey winter, Charlie is 35 and heartbroken. He just wants to spend time alone. Long Beach Island, NJ seems to be the perfect escape until his solitude is interrupted by a motley parade of misfits who show up and change his plans.

Other cast include: Justin Bartha, David Wilson Barnes & Krysten Ritter.

TVGuide has selected the Top TV Characters They Want Back and among them were none other than our favorite fundamentalists, the Newlins (Anna Camp & Michael McMillian)! The Guide commented they’d like to see Sarah and Jason have some more scenes together, while we here at TB-N would like a little more Nan Flanagan vs. Rev. Newlin jousts on the national TV. Also?  I’d like a little bit more of that Louisiana Hot Sauce routine… please?

See who else they want back here.

The HBO Inside True Blood Blog has interviewed one of our favorite Newlins, Michael McMillian. Gianna, assistant to Alan Ball, asks the question we’ve been hearing around here as well, “Will the Newlins be back on True Blood?” Michael is co-writing the True Blood comic series, so most of the questions are about the comic books. One thing to note, Michael outs himself as Team Eric!

Gianna: Are there references to story lines that happen on the show, particularly concerning season 4?  Or are the comics independent of what Alan is doing?

Michael: The comics aren’t entirely independent of the show, but obviously the show is the main True Blood storyline.  We’re the supporting act.  The comic is a great way to expand the mythology and explore certain corridors of the True Blood world that the show may perhaps leave untouched.  Issue 1, for example, kicks off with a tour of a Tru Blood bottling plant.  We’ve seen bottling plants in teasers for upcoming seasons, but so far the Tru Blood company itself hasn’t really been showcased in any narrative on the show.  I think fans will appreciate getting a little glimpse behind the curtain there.  There are certainly references to things that have happened in previous seasons, and our story reflects the increasing human/vampire tensions established in season 3.  We’ll also flesh out a very important backstory to a fan-favorite character.

Gianna: Are we going to find out a little more about Steve Newlin’s backstory in upcoming issues?

Michael: If I have it my way, “True Blood: The Steve Newlin Adventures” ongoing will kick off in summer of 2011!  Just kidding.  We will see a bit of Smilin’ Steve in “Tainted Love.”  And perhaps a glimpse of what Sarah Newlin has been up to…

Gianna: Oh really? Any clues to her whereabouts?

Michael: All I can say is she has taken what has happened to her and used it to her advantage.

Gianna: Interesting… Speaking of the Newlins, any plans for them coming back on the show? In season 4, or even beyond that?

Michael: You’re asking the wrong guy!  I certainly hope so.  Obviously, True Blood has no shortage of characters, but I think it’s significant that the Newlins made it out of Season 2 alive. And there MUST be some kind of Fellowship of the Sun revival after what Russell Edgington pulled on national TV, right?  If I were Steve – and I am – I’d be plotting revenge on both Stackhouses and Eric in particular.  Nobody bangs Steve’s wife and shoots him in the face with a paintball and gets away with it.  Nobody.

We have news on both Anna Camp and Michael McMillan (Sarah & Steve Newlin).

Steve & Sarah Newlin

Trish Bendix from afterellen.com reported that Anna Camp has been cast as Sarah, one of the lesbian characters on NBC’s upcoming pilot I Hate That I Love You. Sarah is 30-year-old “sexy, sporty, tom-boyish” lesbian who’s also trendy and hip. She lives and works with her straight best friend, Missy, who owns Floral and Hardy. We also know, based on the pilot episode and logline, that Sarah will meet Allie, Missy’s boyfriend’s roommate, who she will fall for and want to get pregnant with.

Anna Camp has played fairly feminine roles in the past, so she’s an interesting choice for the “tomboyish” character. She’s also starring in the upcoming film The Help with Emma Stone.

Michael McMillian tweeted “LA Folks: Live audience podcast tonight at the SMODCASTLE 8pm with Deborah Ann Woll and Marc Andreyko! Come one come all!” (posted today, 2/16/2011)

Another tweet from Michael that is too cute not to share, “As I was getting into my car after an audition a cute 3 year-old waved at me from his yard and said, “Hi, loser!”

Michael, you certainly are not a loser. If you want to follow him on twitter, he is under McMillzz. He has very entertaining tweets!
